Upon admittance, every patient is assigned an attending physician to ensure their specific health, hygiene and nutritional needs are fulfilled by the highest level of care by a highly trained medical team.

Each Aperion Care facility formulates a personalized plan of care of effective treatments, protocols and procedures conducted by staff nurses, therapists and social service providers. The attending physician identifies and adjusts the courses of treatment based on the progress of the patient’s condition and evolving needs. Every facility works to involve family’s needs and concerns to ensure that the patient’s health are always addressed.

Therapeutic Services Offered by Aperion Care

For any recovering patient in need of focusing on full recovery, the therapists working at Aperion Care centers formulate a plan to maximize every therapeutic service provided at the facility.

Each nurse and nursing assistant is given the responsibility to provide quality care, constant monitoring and assistance to ensure that the optimal care is given throughout the patient’s recovery or evolving condition.

Ratings, Allegation of Neglect and Abuse Involving Aperion Care

The CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) rates every healthcare facility as a way to assess and evaluate quality measures, staffing problems and health inspections. With the exception of Aperion Care International (Chicago), Aperion Care Oak Lawn (Oak Lawn), Aperion Care St. Elmo (St. Elmo) and Aperion Care Peru (Peru, IN), the remaining 24 facilities managed by Aperion fell far below average on the Medicare rating system.

The poor quality measures at two dozen facilities indicate that the health, hygiene and nutritional needs of residents at each center have not been met. In addition, the majority of these facilities rated low in health inspections, indicating the facility is not meeting basic standards of care provided in a clean and safe environment.

There has been a recent call in a change of legislation in Illinois to place surveillance cameras throughout the halls and rooms in nursing homes throughout the state. This is because family, friends and loved ones are often unaware of the negligence, abuse, or mistreatment of a loved one placed in a nursing facility.

One family of a patient who resided at Aperion Care Oak Lawn are in favor of the change of legislation after discovering a lack of care at the facility when the patient suffering from abnormal brain function (chronic encephalopathy) fell, broke her hip and femur, and fractured her pelvis. In an effort to determine exactly what happened, the family asked to review recorded video from the installed surveillance cameras throughout the facility. However, acquiring the video required filing a negligence suit to view the horrific incident.

Jonathan Rosenfeld was professionally objective, timely, and knowledgeable. Also, his advice was extremely effective regarding my case. In addition, Jonathan was understanding and patient pertaining to any of my questions or concerns. I was very happy with the end result and I highly recommend Jonathan Rosenfeld. Michonne Proulx

★★★★★

Extremely impressed with this law firm. They took control of a bad motorcycle crash that left my uncle seriously injured. Without any guarantee of a financial recovery, they went out and hired accident investigators and engineers to help prove how the accident happened. I am grateful that they worked on a contingency fee basis as there was no way we could have paid for these services on our own. Ethan Armstrong
